Orleans

Orleans is that very special blend between fiction and scary as all get out reality. This fast paced, adrenaline packed book will leave you wondering if maybe this is the way our world is headed.

Fen knows how to survive in the Delta. She has had to grow up protecting herself from not only the fever which kills but also from blood hungry infected people who need transfusions to survive. When the unthinkable happens and her tribe is overtaken she goes on the run with her chieftain's baby to try and find a way to save her. She runs into a man from the outside who says he is trying to find a cure and together they work towards helping each other.

This world called the Delta is like none other I have ever read about. Centered in New Orleans, this story takes place after a series of massive hurricanes causes’ major infection and then resulting in the Government building The Wall to keep the infection out of the rest of the US. This is truly frightening to me because this could happen. There is nothing made up here, infection and hurricanes are always a possibility. This book truly terrified me and I loved every minute of it. There is no fluff, no extra unneeded romance, or frightening paranormal creatures. This author has managed to take something so simple and make it one of the most terrifying books I have ever read. This is a brilliant read.
